[ even though he's happy to get more time with thorns, one must not forget the circumstances that brought this forward… a dead liberi lover…
this is going to keep him up for so many nights. ]
Help me carry everything over?
[ directs thorns to the guest room. ]
Here's the game plan. Tomorrow, we'll spend the day hunting for more things to decorate your room with. Pick up a few books, some movies, and snacks—we can binge one or two together, and when you're lonely, you can put on a new one on and pretend I'm right there with you. By the time you run out, it should be time for our next rendezvous. That's stage one.
[ hello has contingency contract not taught him anything? they need to cover every base. elysium huffs but keeps talking all the same, arms busy as he stacks boxes and bags into thorns' hold while darting around to gather the rest of his things. why does he have so much. ]
It's when stage one isn't enough. Doing everything on your own gets isolating fast.
[ read: he's absolutely planning to ask people to keep a closer eye on thorns. teach… juana… ??? ]
But I don't mind telling you about stage three if you want to hear about it. Stage two's probably more of a stage and a half…
[ the more he thinks about it the less he thinks it's going to work so nvm, ]
okay. he thinks elysium sounds crazy right now actually? he listens to all of this, and wonders if maybe he should have said he would be a little bit busy the next few days. ]
[ let it be known that the sole thing stopping elysium from being pettier is the fact that thorns is a grieving widow. he does not slow, but he does respond… ]
thorns closes the distance between them and leans in. his face is so very close to elysium's, just inches apart... and he then shifts so he can blow air into his ear before he just walks past him. ]
his gaze tracks every one of thorns' movements, attentive as ever, but it doesn't quite register what thorns wants from him until after that soft puff of air. which, unfortunately, makes both his shoulders and his feathers puff up in reflex, as well as
[ he can't really give an explanation, other than he wanted to and wanted to see how elysium would react. while thorns has decided he'll be platonic, it does make it difficult since it means he can't see certain aspects of elysium he has grown to enjoy... like specific expressions... ]
going along with this feels like losing. so although elysium is a good distance ahead, he ends up scuttling back until they're side by side. he stares at thorns, and as if he's truly warring with himself, only comes to a decision seconds later when he leans forward to
also blow air into thorns' ear before he once again scurries off. die. ]
[ one is living a romcom while the other is living a melodrama. someone save them…
depending on how long thorns takes to catch up, elysium is probably already arranging his pillows on thorns' bed. funny, how simply being aware of his feelings can change everything. ]

sadly thorns is so used to elysium doing nonsense that he's more amused than anything. ]
Uh huh. What's stage two?
[ he'll wait for elysium to direct him to what's his stuff to grab... ]

he's so fuckin cute, thorns is going to explode. he watches elysium escape, and he just cups his own ear that elysium had blown into it. ]
This really is impossible...
